Important update, I am no longer taking poll results for 2 reasons:

1. I'm starting school before the poll expires, I would like to get this over with before I start to get busy.

2. One choice is winning by alot of votes, here are the results as of August 8th, 2020:
15 points - 12 votes (Poll Winner)
40 points - 5 votes
0 points - 3 votes
35 points - 0 votes

Now that we have a point requirement to "win" Jump Rope Jam, I know all the goals to win each pair game, and everyone will be able to do "win" runs for All Pair Minigames and All Minigames. You can expect the rule changes to take place very soon, or perhaps right now. Thanks for voting in the poll if you did.

I have realized that people found a loophole in the "All 1v1 Minigames Win" speedrun where they can get several seconds of timesave if they do Commuter Count as their last minigame and stop the timer when "finish" is displayed.

To align with the fast exiting rule for Commuter Count, I have retimed some speedruns so that they end when the actual passenger count is first displayed. As a result, Babalee loses his WR status to WiiSuper because there were less passengers in WiiSuper's Commuter Count minigame, RNGesus gets the best of all of us I guess.

We have also encountered a situation where someone started speedrunning with all 4 players but they would make P2, P3, and P4 become CPUs via Autoplay in the pause menu. We don't know the difficulty of these Autoplay CPUs, so I decided to add "Autoplay" as an option for the CPU Difficulty variable list. I will be adding CPU Difficulty variable guidelines in the Main Rules if at any point it gets confusing.

If there are other situations where people end their All Minigames run too early by a loophole, let me know in Discord or in this thread. Also, you can still vote in the poll if you haven't yet. Please don't vote again if you have already voted: https://www.speedrun.com/wii_party/thread/xjdig

EDIT: I have realized that it wasn't really a loophole. It was just a poor moderating job in our end.

Hello people. Me and Randomno are working on adding win conditions for Pair minigames so you all can speedrun All Minigames and All Pair Minigames with a win condition. We have figured out win conditions of almost every minigame based on what you need to do to get normal sized Mii's in Balance Boat.

There is an exception however, and it is Jump Rope Jam. This Pair minigame is not in Balance Boat and it doesn't have a clear win condition by itself. I have decided to start a poll to see how people really want to "win" Jump Rope Jam.

ONLY VOTE ONCE PLEASE! The poll expires August 20th, 2020, 12:00 AM Central US time, but I may end it early depending on if a certain choice is winning by a big enough land slide, the poll gets exploited, there's a bug, etc. Questions about the poll can be asked in the Discord server or this thread. Have fun!

Getting Wii Party in big speedrunning events is something I've wanted for a long time. The issue is that we need runners who 1. meet the requirements to go to the events and 2. will show up to the events in time. We are still working on clarifying the rules (especially in the All Minigames category), so signing up for speedrunning events are a very low priority thing for us at the moment. I want to wait until all of our issues have been solved and all of the dust has settled.

I added route options for Delivery Duel. To identify which route is which, go to https://www.speedrun.com/wii_party/resources .

I've rejected it several times now, but it won't go away. SRC is being buggy!

Some of the minigame runs have rules that say that you can take a picture because the IGT is saved and displayed in the rankings screen (if it’s fast enough). If the minigame of your choice doesn’t have that picture rule, you should stick to recording a video. I may adjust the recording rules if time permits.

P.S. You are also totally allowed to record with a phone. Just make sure the whole screen can be seen and is totally recorded start to finish.

UPDATE: added recording rule to all minigame categories. The only minigames you can take a picture in are Cosmic Capers and Spring Time.

Done.

I have seen some suspicious runs recently (especially the ones that are just recorded with a camera in front of the TV screen) , and I do admit I am lazy when it comes to verifying runs. Now that this community has grown larger, I will be catching my mistakes and make sure that no players try to take advantage of my laziness.

I am moving all the minigames from the level leaderboard to the Full-game leaderboard. Make sure you move all of your minigame speedruns to the newly added Full-game categories, 4 Player Minigames, 1 vs 3 Minigames, and 1 vs 1 Minigames. I have deleted every minigame in the level leaderboard, so make sure you have your videos saved and re-uploaded to the new full-game categories! I made this change because the Pair Minigames simply would not work as individual levels. I added a Pair Minigames full-game category. I will add stuff for it too, but I need to get my Wii U fixed.

I have an issue. My Wii U console will not turn on and my Wii Party disc is stuck in it. It may take me a while to publish the 100% run, I apologize

I'm back! Anyway, 100% seems like a good speedrun to experiment with, but I do prefer the unlockables idea because you would need to unlock everything in the game in order to "complete" the game. However, for a 100% completion, I feel it would make sense to actually complete every minigame, party game, etc. including unlocking everything. We can also add a "finish" or "win" category for it too, just like in the party games speedrun.

Very true. I wish the mod could add more, but I don't think he gets notifications when someone posts on the forum so I don't think he knows that we want this game to have more categories.

Hello,

The moderator for Wii Party has been inactive on speedrun.com and across all of his linked social media accounts for 6 to 7 months. I would like to request super moderation of this game so i could get runs verified.

Thank you!
